There are some of us interested in seeing what video and audio codecs/containers HTC now uses. Thanks!

Wed, 08 Jun 2011 01:35:17 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=355895#comment-629740Just a quick note as to your mentioning of WiFi Calling not using minutes. I am fairly sure that it does indeed use minutes (and warns you of that). The only purpose is to grant better clarity/signal strength/connection for voice in areas that are lacking strong cell signal

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:26:24 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=355895#comment-629524Glad to help. I’m a little surprised, based on the May 13th file date. It was *after* that when HTC said it would stop locking the devices down. I still think there’s risk of a change to retail units, but you’re right: this close to launch it would be difficult to make a change. :)

Sure there are no guarantees it will be the same on release but this close to the release date, I think it’s a safe bet. Since HTC promised all new phones would not be locked, I think it’s not unreasonable to expect this question for all new phones going forward.

I checked the bootloader screen on the HTC Sensation 4G review unit I have and it shows S-OFF. However, there’s no guarantees that retail units will have the same: just wanted to mention that.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 14:30:33 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=355895#comment-629504Is there a way you could go to the boot loader screen and determine if the phone is locked and let us know? It would be really cool to see what they did.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 12:39:12 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=355895#comment-629472Jimmy, you got two good answers already, but I’ll chime in. ;) I’m small (5’5″) and I have no problem with the size of the Sensation. I was using two hands in the video because there’s a camera between me and the device for starters, plus, I tend to use my phones with two hands. I can use one hand with the Sensation; when I got to the 4.5″ screen of the Infuse 4G, it became a little more challenging for me, but was still fine. There’s not much bezel space above and below the screen on the Sensation, which helps although the phone is a little wider than say my Nexus One. Hope that helps!

to give to some perspective, I am a small guy and use the Dell Streak 5″ screen and it is pocketable in my pants and I use it one hand as well. This phone is way smaller and in honesty, I cannot go back to a phone with a screen less than 5″.

Still hoping a high res 5″-6″ inch phone with dual core. Otherwise, dell streak is a dream come true for me at the moment.
